Backstage news on Triple H's role in massive WWE bumps - Reports
The WWE Universe has widely praised Triple H for improvements to the overall product in recent years. The industry is known for unbelievable spectacles such as events like WrestleMania, and infamous bumps like Mick Foley's Hell in a Cell spot. New details are being revealed on the process behind these dangerous bumps, along with how WWE producers interact with the wrestlers.
Officials have seemingly turned up the intensity of the RAW in-ring action ahead of the Netflix launch in January. Bronson Reed has been pushed as a dominant heel this year, and his rivalries with Seth Rollins and Braun Strowman have provided several big bumps and brawls, in arenas and parking lots.
The Australian Superstar also shocked fans by delivering a Tsunami off of the WarGames cage last weekend, only to crash through a table down below after CM Punk pulled Roman Reigns to safety. Reed reportedly suffered an ankle injury on the dive.
World Wrestling Entertainment has a trusted process to get approval for these big spots. After an inquiry on whether big spots like what we've seen from Reed are approved by Triple H, Fightful Select noted in a new update that sequences like these are always pitched first, then they go through one of the company's many experienced producers. Triple H likely has the final say, as Vince McMahon once did.
The WWE Production team is also briefed on these pre-planned mega-spots. This guarantees that the production crew will be ready and prepared to get the needed camera shots and appropriate angles for TV.
Backstage news on WWE Producers
World Wrestling Entertainment has provided its talents with state-of-the-art facilities and access to veteran wrestlers-turned-producers. This has led to the company developing top talent in ways the industry has never seen.
WWE Producers can be hard on talents if needed, according to a recent Fightful Select Q&A. It was noted that ultimately, producers are there to help keep the show running smoothly while educating and guiding the wrestlers. The nightly process for a producer usually includes notes and feedback given to them, but it was noted that rarely are there situations where talents are scolded as most of the company's coaches and producers are respectful.
The team of WWE Producers that work the main roster includes Shane Helms, Robert Roode, Jason Jordan, Michael Hayes, Molly Holly, Billy Kidman, Kenn Doane, Tyson Kidd, and Pete Dunne, among others. In addition, some of the names working behind the scenes in NXT include Fit Finlay, Steve Corino, Terry Taylor, Tyler Breeze, and Sara Amato.
